The board already said no and this fat cat McLachlan wants to overturn them and destroy 100 years of tradition. He doesn’t give a shit. All he cares about is money and financial advantage throu the media. He says he wants it comfirmed this summer so his wallet can get a nice lump in September. Oops I mean October, remember that got changed too, to suit the media.

More and more people hey Gillon? Can you present some evidence to support your views? Or is it more to do with $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$?

Just another example of the AFL not caring about fans of the game. I love the line about kiddies still able to go to the twilight game when club members are largely excluded from grand final day at the expense of corporate interests. I understand the AFL is a corporation and seeking to maximise it’s financial clout, but what I take issue with is the seeming disrespect towards the fans and traditions of the game. Oh, and showing less games on free to air TV next year plain stinks. I can’t go to games because a back injury restricts what I can do physically. Now there will be less chance to watch footy as I don’t have foxtel. Asshole.
